I finished the doodle rlly early so I’m posting to shake the nerves :D This is my submission for @tmntfashioncompetition Villains and Heroes theme cause like.. rat king.. get it? Ahajaaagag….
Since the Hubris Quilting post is making the rounds again:
I BELIEVE IN YOUR HUBRIS, FELLOW CRAFTSPEOPLE!!!
You CAN commit to that ridiculous project you've been idly contemplating!! You CAN learn an entirely new technique because it's what The Project requires! You CAN persevere in the face of setbacks and doubt! The capacity for Hubris Crafting is within us all if you choose to embrace it!!
Also if you have no one to appreciate your hubris visions you can always come to me and I will cheer and clap for you; this is a Promise!
i've been having Thoughts™ about creativity and crafting and art and artisanship and skill, and i'm curious about what the rest of y'all think, so please have this poll:
The yes/no/sometimes/NUANCE is in direct answer to the "Do you feel creative" part of the question; the stuff after the semicolon is just a General Statement of How You Generally Craft. (full disclosure: i knit, so i think in terms of patterns, but if you partake in another fiber craft and there's a better word for "following someone else's design/instructions," insert that there instead!)
~feeling creative~ is defined however you want it to be. (this is why i'm asking the internet at large this in poll form--i'm trying to untangle some of my own thoughts about what makes me feel creative, and what that looks like across my life/hobbies.) if you'd like to elaborate in reblogs/tags/replies, please do!
assumptions i made with these options: if you design your own patterns, you probably also have done quite a bit of making other people's patterns. if you mostly follow someone else's patterns, you may have dabbled in trying your own, but not enough to feel like you're qualified to claim "pattern designer" (hi, it me). please answer with your heart regardless! you can explain as much or as little as you'd like, i'm just after General Trends and Vibes, here!
please reblog! i want to hear from as many people as are willing to play!! thanks y'all!!!
I've started quilting my quilt and I thought it would be fun to approximately quilt in the shape of major roads (thanks yarrow for suggesting this in april) but now I want to quilt it more densely and feel locked into the road thing as 1) it is a sin to lie 2) as i am learning, Boston has an infinite number of roads
I will actually probably do leafs or vines or so on but wanted to share my road conundrum
